The Rising Fist
Van Dao is the loyal general of the Emperor’s elite fighting force, the Storm Fists, charged with keeping the dreaded Maquai from overrunning Saitan City. But when he is framed for a wrongful murder, the Emperor strips Van of both his rank and his legendary Storm Gauntlet, and casts him down to the Nightlands.
Van must lead a crew of prisoners in their escape from a horde of nightmarish demons before embarking on his quest for redemption and revenge. But to rise again, Van needs to climb the Strata of Saitan, a task that requires fighting and winning in the arenas set on each level of the metropolis.
